  • Algebra 1 (Course #1200310)

    1.0 credit – Grades 9-10

    Algebra 1 is a course designed to provide the foundation for more advanced mathematics courses and to develop the skills needed to solve problems.

     

    Pre-AICE Math 1 (Algebra 1) (Course #1200320)

    1.0 credit – Grade 9

    Prerequisite: 3 or better on FAST­ Math.

    This course is for college-directed students with an interest in mathematics and science. It provides a deeper exploration of basic algebra topics and provides a strong founda­tion for higher math courses.

     

    AICE Math 1 AS (Course #1202352)

    1.0 Credit – Grades 10-12

    Cambridge International Mathemat­ics develops a set of transferable skills. These include the skill of work­ing with mathematical information, as well as the ability to think logically and independently, consider accura­cy, model situations mathematically, analyze results and reflect on find­ings. At the AS Level, students con­centrate on Pure Math 1 & 2. What is normally designed to be a 2-year course of study that spans the typi­cal American coursework of Algebra 2, Precalculus, and an Introduction to Calculus is completed in 1 years’ time.

     

    Geometry (Course #1206310)

    1.0 credit – Grades 9-12

    Pre-AICE Math 2 (Geometry) (Course #1206320)

    1.0 credit – Grades 9-10

    Prerequisites: “B” or better in Algebra 1 Honors & teacher recommenda­tion.

    This course is designed to give an in-depth study of Geometry to the college-directed student with empha­sis on independent discovery.

     

    Algebra 2 (Course #1200330)

    1.0 credit – Grade 12

    Prerequisites: Geometry & Teacher recommendation.

    This course is de­signed to continue the study of the structure of algebra and to provide the foundation for applying these skills to other mathematics and sci­entific fields.

     

    Pre-AICE Math 3 (Algebra 2 Honors) (Course #1200340)

    1.0 credit – Grades 9-11

    Prerequisites: “B” or better in Geometry Honors or Algebra 1 Hon­ors, teacher recommendation.

    This course is for college-directed stu­dents with an interest in mathematics and science. This course presents an in-depth study of the topics of Al­gebra 1 with emphasis on theory and application.

     

    Pre-Calculus Honors (Course #1202340)

    1.0 credit – Grades 10-12

    In this course, six areas are emphasized:

    1. extending trigonometry to circles & functions
    2. extending functions to trigonomic
    3. developing understanding of conic sections
    4. operations with complex numbers and vectors
    5. relations in the plane using parametric representations including polar coordinates
    6. analyzing sequences and series.

    Math Data and Financial Literacy (Course #1200387)

    1.0 credit – Grades 10-12

    In this course, instructional time em­phasizes five areas: (1) extending knowledge of rations, proportions and functions to data and finan­cial contexts; (2) developing under­standing of basic economic and ac­counting principles; (3) determining advantages and disadvantages of credit accounts and short and long term loans; (4) developing under­standing of planning for the future through investments, insurance, and retirement plans and (5) extending knowledge of data analysis to cre­ate and evaluate reports and to make predictions.

     

    Probability and Statistics Honors (Course #1210300)

    1.0 Credit – Grades 11-12

    This course provides instructional time will emphasize four areas: (1) creating and interpreting data dis­plays for univariate and bivariate categorical and numerical data; (2) comparing and making observations about populations using statistical data, including confidence intervals and hypothesis testing; (3) extend­ing understanding of probability and probability distributions and (4) de­veloping an understanding of meth­ods for collecting statistical data, in­cluding randomized trials.

     

    Math for College Algebra (Course #1200710)

    1.0 credit – Grades 11-12

    In this course, instructional time will emphasize five areas: (1) developing fluency with the Laws of Exponents with numerical and algebraic expres­sions; (2) extending arithmetic op­erations with algebraic expressions to include rational and polynomial expressions; (3) solving one-variable exponential, logarithmic, radical and rational equations and interpreting the viability of solutions in real-world contexts; (4) modeling with and ap­plying linear, quadratic, absolute value, exponential, logarithmic and piecewise functions and systems of linear equations and inequalities; (5) extending knowledge of functions to include inverse and composition.
